Description

  • This function gives the normal distribution for the particular mean and standard deviation.
  • Normal distribution is the function that represents the distribution of many random variables as a symmetrical bell-shaped graph.
  • This distribution is the continuous probability distribution.It is also called Gaussian distribution.

  • Suppose cu is TRUE, this function gives the cumulative distribution, and it is FALSE, this function give the probability mass function.
  • The equation for the normal distribution is:Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle f(x,\mu,\sigma)=1/σsqrt(2pi()).e^-{(x-μ)^2/2σ^2}} , where \mu is the mean of the distribution,\sigma is the standard deviation of the distribution.
  • In this formula, Suppose \mu = 0 and \sigma = 1, then the distribution is called the standard normal distribution or the unit normal distribution.
  • This function will return the result as error when any one of the argument is nonnumeric and sd<=0.

when cu is TRUE , this formula is the integral from -infinity to x and cu is FALSE , we can use the same formula.

font>sd   is the standard deviation of the distribution.

c   is a logical value that determines the form of the function.


 

It calculates the normal distribution for the specified mean and standard deviation.


·       NORMDIST displays error for nonnumeric sd.

  1. When sd <=0, NORMDIST displays error.
  2. The equation for the normal density function (cumulative = FALSE) is:




NORMDIST


 

Let’s see an example in (Column1 Row 1, Column1Row2, Column1Row3)

NORMDIST (C1R1, C1R2, C1R3)

i.e. =NORMDIST (52, 50, 2.5, true) is 0.7885

?UNIQcc0d9c136de91e77-nowiki-00000002-QINU? is 0.1159.
